Bird Control at Ports Facilities
Eliminating Bird Problems at Port Facilities with Birdzoff Bird Deterrents
Port facilities provide many opportunities for birds to perch and nest on structures including docks, piers, boat landings, buoys, channel markers, and pilings. Birds also perch on ship railings and rooftops, which are prime lookout spots for food. Maintenance and clean up can become a constant issue.
Birds commonly found on ports include gulls, cormorants, osprey, hawks, ravens, and vultures.
Birdzoff bird deterrents effectively exclude perching and nesting opportunities from port facilities around the country.

Importance of Bird Deterrents at Ports: Addressing Safety Hazards and Environmental Problems
It is important to deter birds from ports because they can cause various safety hazards and environmental problems that can affect the operation of the port and the health of its workers. Birds can be attracted to ports for various reasons, such as food sources or nesting opportunities, but their presence can create risks for both the equipment and the workers.
One major problem caused by birds at ports is the corrosion of equipment. Bird droppings contain acidic compounds that can cause corrosion to metal surfaces, such as cranes, ship decks, and other port equipment. This can lead to costly repairs and maintenance and can also cause safety hazards by weakening the structural integrity of the equipment.
Additionally, large populations of birds can create safety hazards by obstructing the movement of vehicles and workers, which can increase the risk of accidents. Bird droppings at ports can pose health risks to workers who come into contact with them. Bird droppings contain bacteria and fungi that can cause respiratory infections and other health problems, especially for workers who handle the equipment or work in close proximity to bird roosts or nesting sites.
Bird deterrents can be used to prevent birds from approaching ports. These deterrents can include visual and physical devices, such as BirdSpring, TowerGuard, Arc Nemesis, nets, and wire barriers that prevent birds from perching or nesting.
By using bird deterrents, port operators can help protect their equipment, prevent safety hazards, and minimize the health risks caused by birds at the ports. This can help ensure the smooth operation of the ports and the safety and health of its workers.
